Bill Jones:
Make government more open and responsive

Jones has been a consistent doer, someone who has changed how government works, and made it more open & responsive to the people it serves. As a Legislator, he authored some of the key regulatory reforms that cut through California’s notorious red tape,
and helped lead our State’s economic recovery in the 1990s. As Secretary of State, he brought State government into the 21st Century of information technology, made the elections process more open, and championed campaign finance reform.

Dan Quayle:
Appoint judges who won’t push a political agenda

The most enduring presidential legacy is in the federal courts. We can win debates, we can achieve legislative victories, and we can succeed in citizen initiatives-but it will all be in vain if we have judges who step in and substitute their political
agenda for the wisdom of the people. The most important qualification for the federal bench [should be] whether they are well qualified, show respect for the Constitution, and appreciate the indispensable role of religion and morality in our society.
